The dishes were flavourful, but could be unbalanced. For example, in the Charred Broccoli Taco, the taste of the peanuts dominated all other ingredients. The Fermented Habanero Hot Sauce was disappointing. It was just raw spiciness with none of the usual smokey and fruity complexity of habanero.

Tacos Oscar is such a cool little spot — laid-back vibe, friendly staff, and seriously good tacos. Everything tastes super fresh, with creative toppings and bold flavors. It’s the kind of place you stop by for a quick bite and end up hanging out longer than you planned. Simple, tasty, and totally worth it.

The chile verde pork tacos were great. Decided to try the broccoli taco upon suggestion from many people in line. It was pretty good. Definitely worth a try

The tacos were amazing! I had the chicken, pork, and broccoli which were all amazing! The tortillas are home-made and phenomenal! The broccoli taco was all of our favorite and it had amazing peanut chile oil! We brought our friend’s dog Oscar and the staff brought him a cookie. 10/10 will be back!

Very nice place, the tacos were weird and amazing. Loved the differenct flavors and mixes. Must try in Oakland.
Tacos Oscar in Oakland is a delightful spot for anyone craving authentic Mexican food. The barbacoa taco was a standout, featuring tender, slow-cooked beef that was rich and flavorful, perfectly complemented by fresh cilantro and onions. The chile verde taco, with its zesty green sauce, offered a nice kick and a bright contrast to the barbacoa. Both tacos were served on warm, handmade tortillas, adding to the overall experience. The casual atmosphere and friendly service make it a great place to enjoy a quick meal. If you're in the area, Tacos Oscar is definitely worth a visit for a taste of delicious, hearty tacos.

I've tried everything Taco's Oscar has ever made and it's awesome. Love to see a place that treats vegetarian offerings with respect - woe to my mental health when the seasonal sweet potato taco is phased out. P.S. please bring back the romano bean taco!!!!!

Love the tacos, especially the meat/chicken. I've been here many times. Last night was a disappointment because both the chicken and the pork tacos were extremely salty. I have not noticed this in the past. Please - ease up on the salt. When your food actually tastes salty, you detract from the overall flavor profile and quality of the food. Give it a thought, see what you can do. I want to return, but can't if your food remains this salty.
